How do I make Part assignments to complex packed arrays correctly?

It has been reported that when trying to make Part assignments to complex packed arrays, the resulting replacement is done incorrectly:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

It should be noted that Fourier is not responsible for the problem. We are just using Fourier to generate a complex packed array in this example.

Our developers are aware of this problem and are working towards a solution. The following workaround should be used whenever replacing parts of a complex packed array.

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

The replacement is now performed correctly.
